How to go broke with an overpair: QQ on a middle-card flushy board

Blinds: $0.25/$0.50 (5 Players) BB: $50.58
UTG: $142.08
CO: $81.81
BN: $50.00 (Hero)
SB: $39.50
BB is LAG reg.
Preflop ($0.75) Hero is BN with Q Q
2 folds, Hero raises to $1.50, SB folds, BB calls $1.00
Flop ($3.25) 3 2 7
BB checks, Hero bets $1.92, BB calls $1.92
I should be betting very rarely on this board, but I suppose it's ok to bet once.

It's better to check with QQ. Betting with more vulnerable hands like 99 and 88 is fine.
Turn ($7.09) 3 2 7 T
BB checks, Hero bets $4.19, BB raises to $18.38, Hero calls $14.19
Now I definitely need to check. I'm crushed by all sorts of hands and BB should have a lot of very good hands here.

When I get raised I need to just fold. For some reason, I put a lot of stock in my Qh blocker.
River ($43.85) 3 2 7 T K
BB bets $28.78 and is all in, Hero calls $28.20 and is all in
River is a fold as well.
Final Pot BB wins $97.25
Rake is $3.00

I played this hand at 2:00 am, and next morning, I cannot figure out what I was doing at any point in the hand (except preflop, I guess).

I guess I need to get to sleep earlier.
